Dimmu Borgir – Spiritual Black Dimensions is a defining masterpiece in the evolution of symphonic black metal. Originally released in 1999 as the follow-up to their massive breakthrough Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, this album solidified the Norwegian band's status as one of the most successful and influential acts in the extreme metal scene.
Recorded at the legendary Abyss Studios with producer Peter Tägtgren, Spiritual Black Dimensions pushed the boundaries of the genre. It introduced a more complex, severe, and guitar-oriented sound while maintaining the haunting keyboard melodies that became the band's signature. This release is historically significant for featuring the debut of keyboardist/composer Mustis and the soaring, clean vocal guest spots of ICS Vortex, adding a new layer of melodic depth to their aggressive foundation.
